The American Home Furnishings Hall of Fame Foundation has issued a last call for ads for its annual Induction Journal to publicly honor the 2019 Hall of Fame inductees. The deadline is September 13, 2019.

“Inductees tell us that the congratulatory tributes in the Induction Journal become even more meaningful as the years go by,” says David Gebhart, president of the Foundation board of directors. “If you want to recognize an inductee as they receive the industry’s most prestigious honor, this is the way to publicly show support the night that they are honored.”

The 2019 inductees into the Hall of Fame are Jake Jabs, president and CEO of American Furniture Warehouse; Clement “Clem” M. Lange, co-founder and chairman of Best Chairs, Inc./Best Home Furnishings; Paul Maitland-Smith, founder of Maitland-Smith Ltd. and Theodore Alexander; and Jim McIngvale, founder and owner of Gallery Furniture.

The Induction Journal offers two placement opportunities. The Gold section features full-page, four-color advertisements for $2,000, and the Silver section offers full-page, black-and-white ads for $1,000.

In addition, a variety of other sponsorship opportunities are still available for the gala, ranging from $10,000 Platinum sponsorships, which include a Journal ad, one table of 10 seats with preferred seating for the event dinner, and public recognition during the celebration; to $2,500 sponsorships, which include a Journal ad, two event tickets, and a logo on the event video and website.

The Induction Celebration will be October 20 at the Sheraton Greensboro Four Seasons, with “Miracle on the Hudson” Captain Sully Sullenberger delivering the keynote address. TV personalities Bobby Berk and Kelli Ellis will serve as hosts along with entertainment from saxophonist, singer and songwriter Grace Kelly.

The Hall of Fame is supported by sponsors of the 2019 Induction Celebration:

Tickets for the American Home Furnishings Hall of Fame Induction Celebration are $250 per ticket for members ($2,500 for a table of 10) and $300 per ticket for non-members ($3,000 for a table of 10).
